Chapter Twenty-Three: There Is No Way to Heaven and No Way to Earth
Ruyang Mansion is located in the west of Yuzhou, away from the ancient capital of the Nine Dynasties is only more than 200 miles, compared with Runan Mansion and Yiyang Mansion, its terrain is complex, the north is relatively flat, the south is Funiu Mountain, its mountain range stretches for dozens of miles, the mountains are high and the water is long, the people are inaccessible, it is rumored that there are some remnants of the White Lotus Sect who do not obey the law of the imperial court, and occupy the mountain as the king here, if someone unfortunately breaks into here, then it is the end of death without a place to be buried.
But today, there are two evil stars here, which makes a huge barberry mountain, and the chickens and dogs are restless.
Jiuqu Village is a small village, in the Funiu Mountain area is a little famous, the owner of the village is indeed a "White Lotus Sect remnant", in the ten years of the year, participated in the Bailuzhuang Red Turban Army, once followed the Tianbu general Lu Lin to attack Xiangyang, also under the leadership of the average general Zhang Fu and the Great Zheng official army, later Lu Lin, Zhang Fu and even the sect leader Fu Chen and others died one after another, Tang Shengyue took over the position of the sect leader, took charge of the power in the sect alone, and decided to lead the White Lotus Sect to return to Daqi, Wei Wuji and Zhang Wuxian and other mainstays also became Emperor Xiao's lackey eagle dog, he and some brothers who were unwilling to surrender betrayed the White Lotus Sect together, and became the "remnant of the White Lotus Sect" in the mouth of the imperial court.
First of all, a middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper in Tsing Yi broke into the village, and then a young man with a wooden box holding Qingfeng followed, the two fought all the way, a good village collapsed in an instant, seeing this scene, the people in the village did not know that this was a fight with the gods, and they scattered and fled, and after a while, a huge village was already empty.
Xu Beiyou slashed out with a sword, and the largest house in the stockade was instantly split into two, and the "shopkeeper" hiding behind it jumped to avoid the sword qi, with a big sleeve, and the stars shot towards Xu Beiyou again.
Xu Beiyou picked up a sword, opened all these god-destroying arrows, and the sword qi in his hand rose again and again, nearly ten zhang long, completely covering Tianlan itself, a sword swept, so that several houses in front of him collapsed, the ground was even more devastated, fragmented, the "shopkeeper" hid extremely embarrassed, and even cut off a strand of hair by the sword qi.
Xu Beiyou didn't take advantage of the situation to pursue, and said coldly: "How long do you have to escape?
In fact, Xu Beiyou's original intention was to capture this "shopkeeper", and he didn't want to hurt his life, but he just abolished his cultivation, and then took him to the imperial capital and handed him over to Mr. Han Xuan for disposal, so he was tolerant everywhere, but he never thought that this person was so difficult, not only did he have first-class skills in escaping for his life, but he even ambushed him twice.
Once when crossing the canyon, he pushed down more than a dozen 10,000-pound boulders from above, almost burying Xu Beiyou under the rocks, forcing Xu Beiyou to use a sword for twenty to get out, and the other time was to wait for the rabbit with the art of earth escape, Xu Beiyou didn't even perceive the slightest trace of him, just when Xu Beiyou passed, he jumped out of the ground coldly and stabbed Xu Beiyou in the chest with a dagger, although Xu Beiyou finally cut off the dagger, but there was a small injury on his body.
All of this makes Xu Beiyou's patience very little left, so this sword is Xu Beiyou's last chance to give this person, if he is still obsessed, then Xu Beiyou's next sword will really die.
The "shopkeeper" looked down at the two staggered sword wounds on his chest, and couldn't help but feel palpitations, those two swords had the opportunity to stab him through the heart, but Xu Beiyou deliberately didn't kill him, but Xu Beiyou wouldn't be kind enough to play a game of cat and mouse with him all the time, and took the opportunity to plant two lifeless sword qi in his body.
The "shopkeeper" didn't know how long he could last, there were not many things left on his body, such as the god-destroying arrow, the fire thunder, etc., and a long-term Ugin dagger was also broken in two by Xu Beiyou's sword, and what was even worse was that he ran all the way for several days, the water and rice did not enter, and he had no time to rest, and the qi in his body was like a tree without a source of water, and it was about to be exhausted, and he was afraid that he would not be able to run when he ran.
Thinking of this, the "shopkeeper" couldn't help but sigh heavily in his heart, he was a top-notch person who was proficient in assassination, tracking, and Qimen Dunjia in the Secret Guard Mansion, but he was chased and killed by a fledgling boy who had only been in the house for two years, and there was no way to enter the earth.
It is said that it is better to die than to live, but how can the word "live" be so easy? The reason why so many heroes and heroes in the history books chose to commit suicide when they were defeated was not because they did not want to suffer the humiliation of surviving.
The "shopkeeper" said softly: "Xu Gongzi is going to work hard, and the old man can only fight to the death." ”
Xu Beiyou said calmly: "I never wanted to let you die. ”
"It's better to live than to die. The old dark guard, who was actually very old, said expressionlessly: "Besides, after the old decay is useless, it may not be able to live." ”
This kind of persuasion scene, the old man has experienced a lot, but most of the time, he is the persuasion party, as the persuaded party, this is the first time, he naturally knows the fate of the person who is waiting to be killed, either he dies after being tortured and humiliated, or he is squeezed out of the last bit of value and then killed, and there is no luck.
'% First N Launch-
So as early as when he found that he couldn't get rid of Xu Beiyou, he was already determined to die.
Xu Beiyou had finished speaking, and after taking a light breath, he raised Tianlan in his hand, and then wiped his two fingers over Tianlan's sword.
Tianlan, who was originally stained with blood and filth, was instantly as clear as water.
The next moment, Xu Beiyou started with a sword nineteen, and the sword aura was like a dragon.
The shopkeeper was staggering and retreating, his two big sleeves bulging endlessly, and he sent out all the few remaining god-destroying arrows and fire thunderbolts on his body.
For a while, there were thunderstorms and flames.
Xu Beiyou's sword qi shattered these obstacles, and directly blew the shopkeeper's entire person into a blood mist.
However, Xu Beiyou's face was not very happy, but showed a cold look.
I saw that after the fluttering blood mist landed, there was half a trace of blood, only a piece of straw.
Xu Beiyou once saw a secret method in the classics, using rootless grass to make a straw man, and cultivating it with the blood of his heart for many years, so that he could replace the calamity with this straw man in the future. Because of the painstaking watering, the straw man's breath is the same as that of me, even God can deceive it, let alone Xu Beiyou.
Thinking about it, this straw all over the ground is a straw man who has been scattered by the sword qi.
This item is extremely precious, it takes decades to refine one, and only the person can use it. The secret guard "shopkeeper" has such a secret technique, but he has not used it for a long time, and he is a little reluctant to think about it, and he will not use it until the last moment.
Xu Beiyou snorted coldly, the sword box behind him opened in response, and five more swords flew out, plus Tianlan in his hand, a total of six swords.
Xu Beiyou waved his big sleeves, and six swords rose into the air and surrounded this place.
The next moment, there was sword qi all over the ground.
The sword qi first rushed like a flood, overflowing everywhere, and then like a moat, it completely blocked this place, forming a sword qi cage.
This is the seventeenth of swords.
